[JiggaNiggaFigga]

Ol' school gangsters... With manners, always gentle, robin hoods. Damn, what a time it was...

[45690PPP]

luciano was a real made man , not like todays wannabe mafia!

[AnastasiaSaiko]

Luciano - the Best!!!!

[rekonizeplanb]

[socalcraigster]

Luciano was a pimp and a convicted one at that.

[euro2888]

[phatman177]

not so much, prboy

[ivanovsd]

Lucky Luciano created the Crime Syndicate, an organisation that to this day rules US, read the book Le Syndicat Du Crime by Jean-Michel Charlier its a stunnig book, filled with must now info

[realitycheck1975]

he was a murdering scum piece of shit who imported heroin into the USA and sold it to children. Honour ? dont make me sick

[mrtundra45]

@realitycheck1975 LOL no one sells herion to children.... a childs body isnt make to handle a drug that powerful they would OD so easily.... Lets be honest, its Adults and young adults doing heroin, and its their OWN CHOICE

just like Tobaccoo and Alchohol even though we KNOW the risks......

Charles "lucky" Luciano was an Original Gangster, a Pioneer of ORGANIZED Crime, and an Entrepaneur.

A True Legend. RIP

[kvica19]

i love the cotton club does anyone remember that.....oh man that was the movie

[escoebar684return]

long live la cosa nostra

[gibraltaradscom]

@escoebar684return Long live guys like Elliott Ness. True role models. If you look on you tube you will find a biography on lucky and it say's he grassed a fellow hoodlum when he was in his teens. It's o.k when it's o.k badda bing.

[escoebar684return]

im a villian mate so i always love the gangsters

[feb88shabz]

what this film called? is it good? i like mafia film and collect them

[deleoa471]

Andy Garcia play lucky luciano the best they should keep him he looks like him really greAT LOOK AS LUCIANO .

[mrskin1984]

they made a great charecter out of him in the cutton club

[WavyGravy22]

And also I agree that Lucky being the true gangster that he was did it only for himself and could care less whether he was helping anyone out or not in the process. It kinda reminds of like when years later he opened up a much needed medical supplies store in some small Italian town under the guise of helping the local townsfolk, but behind closed doors it turned out to be nothing but a front for another illegal yet another illegal business operation of his.

[WavyGravy22]

Thank you godbrother10 for this little montage of clips from films depicting Charles "Lucky" Luciano. The inclusion of clips from "The Valachi Papers", "Lucky Luciano" and "Hoodlum" were especially appreciated seeing as how they were the very best portrayals of Lucky on screen ;-)

[WavyGravy22]

I say the best and most accurate attempts at bringing Charles "Lucky" Luciano to life on screen is Gian Maria Volontè in that early 70's film called "Lucky Luciano", followed by that one actor (I don't know his name) in the other early 70's film "The Valachi Papers", and then ending (for right now anyway) with the 1990's film "Hoodlum" that has him expertly played by Andy Garcia.

[agroves120]

the kid from boardwalk empire has them all beat

[WavyGravy22]

@agroves120 In your opinion perhaps, but in mine he's just about the worst out of all the actors ever cast in the role of Charles "Lucky" Luciano! My guess for why you think he "has them all beat" is that he's hunky and handsome, which the real life Lucky Luciano was absolutely not in any stretch of the imagination! And not only that but Lucky Luciano was one of the most naturally menacing gangsters probably of all time, and this kid playing him doesn't have even half of that said menace!

[MrClemenza64]

this song's version is horrible...the original composed by nino rota, not this dogs

[Mack11gunz]

this song is fuckin amazing

[ghanaholland]

luciano played a big part in the war to in america and italy

[WavyGravy22]

@ghanaholland That part of Luciano's story was a bit on the exaggerated side I'm afraid. But I won't deny that it's entertaining to read about in spite of his participation in it all being greatly blown out of proportion by the more sensationalistic of mob historians out there.

[ghanaholland]

@WavyGravy22 you have to study a bit more he pla

[ghanaholland]

@WavyGravy22 he played a big part in protecting the harbor in 1941 . because the usa was scared of german u-botes. and also when america wanted to invade cicily he played a big part there ,but that does not mean he was not a gangster.and ofcourse he did it to help him self

[WavyGravy22]

@ghanaholland You are right that it's a proven fact Lucky played a part in WWII, I never said directly that he hadn't helped the USA out some during WWII, though it was mostly at the USA's insistence if I recall and he did so while still behind bars no less. However, there are some gangster wannabe-types out there and even a few mob historians who try to make him out to be some kind of selfless war hero, giving him credit for things he didn't do etc.

[WavyGravy22]

@ghanaholland That is why I made the comment about the exaggeration of facts. Oh yeah, and didn't the US government cut him a deal that in exchange for his cooperation with them they would allow an early release, but only on the grounds that he is deported back to Italy and never allowed to set foot in the US again?

[JiggaNiggaFigga]

slater was such a gay in this role... it was such a big mistake to put him into this role.

Andy Garcia was good, tough and ruthless.

[bcrocker33]

who did Stanley Tucci play? why am I forgetting this... I love him

[inari12700]

[sluggerm7]

[JiggaNiggaFigga]

[ModernDayReview88]

Agreed All the way. He was the best Lucky.

[bcrocker33]

i am surprised DeNiro never played him...Christian Slater?? no.

[inari12700]

was that christian slater the one that was shooting that one guy up ith the tommy gun

[bcrocker33]

@inari12700

i have to go and luck. christian played a lawyer i think

[wesisdadon]

for those of you who dont know he is the one who enters the room at the 2sec mark and gets his hand kissed

[wesisdadon]

Angelo Infanti who played luciano in the valachi papers looked the most like him ... garcia made him look all cock eyed and shit

[TonyStarkIndustries]

luciano was cockyeyed cause of his injuries, thats the way he really looked.

[kingx11]

the 70's al pacino might've played 'lucky' better than them all

[sCaRfAce1942]

damn the part wit the guy shooting wit the tommy like rambo was badass I NEED TO SEE THOSE MOVIES CUZ IM LIKE OBSESSED WIT THE MAFIA

[bellanvedisescompare]

complimenti!

[mkomoni]

christian slater did the best job

[TonyStarkIndustries]

no way!

[prboycheko]

Andy Garcia in Hoodlum is the best of them all.

[bcrocker33]

@prboycheko

i loved that film but it was more about Bumby Johnson. I wanted way more Andy as Lucky than I got - but i think he was fantastic.

one of my fave ganster movies is Once Upon a Time in America.

[01thrilla]

@bcrocker33 Watched once upon a time in America just the other day as ive never seen it before. Its a long film but man its the best gangster flicks ive seenin ages loved every minite of it Sergio Leone is a great director!!!!

[Oskarovvv]

[pkpretty]

the name of the song is called speak softly love by al martino

[aliacapone8129ad]

Thank you for the song for this clip. It's really pretty. It's nice to hear soft songs like these instead of today's so-called hit-songs (they sound awful--it's like listening to a bunch of cats getting run over by a truck).

[ricknice23]

head up shoulders wide and always look stright show no fear, and that's leader

[kdman16]

wtf with the bald luciano, when you make a movie and cast a bald actor to play luciano, at least give him a wig!

[605471]

Andy Garcia Plays him the best in my opinion

[ApostleJD2]

True dat! Him and the guy in the Valacci Papers.

[3551933]

Excellent!

[ricknice23]

the best of the best that simple

[like2seeit86]

Lucky Luciano Boss of all Bosses!

[guitarded78]

most mob bosses don't like to be seen. lucky was opposite and he was the first real big one and he loved luxury and loved to be seen. that is really where the term wise guy started

[WavyGravy22]

@guitarded78 Um, you are wrong there I'm afraid. Like it or not Al Capone was "the first real big one" as you put it, the first larger than life celebrity gangster. He is easily the single most iconic and most recognizable of all Italian gangsters in human history! Ask anyone from any walk of life out on the street to name a famous "real-life" mobster and I'd bet you dollars to donuts that Al Capone would be the first that comes to mind. And John Gotti would probably follow as second after him.

[WavyGravy22]

@guitarded78 Also Lucky Luciano wasn't as larger-than-life flamboyant as you make him out to be either; well, certainly not on the level as the what "Big" Al Capone cultivated for himself during the prohibition era. He lead a flashy, flamboyant lifestyle you can be sure but from what I've read and seen pictures of he just did so on a much quieter down-low scale unlike the loud, boisterous, attention-seeking, bigger than life character that Capone was.

[alxio]

great clip.from whom are the lyrics

[vileville999]

Luciano is probably the only man involved in crime i would idolize...first of all because of his inteligence, next because of his kindlyness, then because of his gentlemenliness, and finally because he was born on Nov. 24, same day i was, only about a hundred years difference though :D

[Macelaruljuhmhk]

they are alot of films on youtube including ''Mobsters'',''Gotti'',''Boyz N The Hood'' and many other great movies
